Please help to do new library

We got our son a nano 2gb for xmas. I tried installing itunes logged in as him on computer and told it to not transfer songs. However, it is putting all the songs from my ipod into his library and his nano. I want him to be able to have his own library and set up. I logged it in as his nano, but it is still doing this. Can I delete the songs from his nano and how can I give him his own library not pulling from mine?

If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • PLEASE HELP me select new internal hard drive for Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina)

    Good afternoon.
    I just bought a Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina) 15 inch from a friend.  I think it is running Mountain Lion (has not been upgraded to Mavericks yet), and has iLife on it.  It came with the stock 500 gb 5400 rpm internal hard drive.  At home, I only have the Snow Leopard OS installation Cds and a copy of iLife 2011 installation Cds.  I am going to buy 16 gb of RAM from Other World Computing to install.
    I want to replace the hard drive with a 1 tb hard drive, preferably something that is $100 or less.
    I talked to Other World Computing (OWC) and looked at the Data Doubler Option to replace the optical drive with a Solid State drive, but decided that for now I want to keep the optical drive inside the computer for portability issues.
    I know that Solid State drives are better, but they are still too small, and I want the ease and portability of a 1 tb size INSIDE my computer.
    Initially I was going to order this from Other World Computing: 1.0TB 2.5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 9.5mm Notebook Drive 32MB Cache. *'New' Factory Replacement with 2+ Year HGST Warranty*    As of April 4, 2014 it's on sale for $79
    But then I started reading some of the discussions online and thought maybe I should get a hybrid solid state drive?
    I saw on Amazon the Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014  It's on sale for $94.
    But according to some reviews, this Seagate has a platter that is only 5400rpm, unlike the previous Seagate Momentum that has a platter speed of 7200rpm.
    How reliable are the Seagate, versus a Toshiba or Western Digital or Hitachi or something else?
    Here are my questions about replacing the hard drive:
    1.  Is a hybrid solid state drive going to need some kind of special formatting after I put it into the macbook so that I can put the operating system on it?
    2.  Is a "normal" platter hard drive more reliable than a hybrid solid state drive?
    3.  Is there any additional driver or special software that I have to install for a hybrid solid state drive?
    4.  Currently there is no personal data stored on the computer.  Can I just put the new hard drive in, and then insert the snow leopard install cd?
    5.  If I install snow leopard, can I just go to the App store and get the free upgrade to Mavericks?
    6.  If I want to do the "Data Doubler" option in the future and add a normal Solid State drive into my computer, will it have trouble interacting with the 1 tb hybrid solid state drive?
    I would love to get some recommendations about the smartest option to upgrade my hard drive with something that will be fast (I edit lots of photos) and large (1 tb) that isn't going to cost too much.  I don't know much about the different brands or options (and there are so many listed in tons of online reviews), that I got really overwhelmed and confused by the info out there.
    I would really appreciate any help and advice.  I've never switched out a hard drive before.
    PLEASE HELP !!!  Thanks!
    Here is the "About this Mac" Info:
    Macbook Pro 15-in Mid 2012
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,1
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Software: OS x 10.8.5
    Storage (Hard drive): APPLE HDD ST500LM012 Media, Rotational, SATA, GPT (GUID Partition Table)

    1.  Is a hybrid solid state drive going to need some kind of special formatting after I put it into the macbook so that I can put the operating system on it?
    The boot drive, regardless of what it is, needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  This is standard with OS X.
    2.  Is a "normal" platter hard drive more reliable than a hybrid solid state drive?
    There are arguments pro and con.  Bottom line, SSD's and hybrid drives are still quite expensive per GB than standard hard drives.  If you have the bucks and are a speed demon, go ahead.   I have better use for my money.   Standard hard drives are mechanical and may wear out over time.  But even though SSDs are not mechancial, they can still go bad and ultimately they even have a limit to their write capacity.  The jury is still out on this debate.
    3.  Is there any additional driver or special software that I have to install for a hybrid solid state drive?
    No
    4.  Currently there is no personal data stored on the computer.  Can I just put the new hard drive in, and then insert the snow leopard install cd?
    You can physically put the hard drive in but probably not install Snow Leopard on this MBP.
    The mid-2012 MacBookPro9,1 models came with Lion 10.7.3 (11D2097) preinstalled.   It is very unlikely you would be able to install Snow Leopard on it.  Historically you cannot install a version of OS X that is earlier than the version that came with your Mac (even if you replace the hard drive).
    5.  If I install snow leopard, can I just go to the App store and get the free upgrade to Mavericks?
    Not via Snow Leopard on this MBP.  See my response to #4.
    6.  If I want to do the "Data Doubler" option in the future and add a normal Solid State drive into my computer, will it have trouble interacting with the 1 tb hybrid solid state drive?
    No.  They are completely independent of each other; they are just independent storage units (drives) and their RAM does not interact.

  • Please, please help!  Photos in library disappearing before my eyes.

    When I open up the iphoto library, my picture thumbnails disappear one after the next--from seemingly random places, though mostly on the right hand side)--before my eyes. My worry is that I am going to loose all my photos.
    History: I have never had any problem with my iphoto program. I have never altered, moved, or renamed anything in the iPhoto library folder. I always work from within the program itself. A couple of days ago, I got a message saying I was running out of hard disk space and that I needed to eliminate some items in order to make more space. I clicked on the iPhoto trash and emptied about 2000 photos from it. After that when I scrolled in the library, the photos began to disappear and leave gray shapes with dotted outlines. No picture appears when they are clicked on.
    I called the Apple Care support. The fellow I worked with suggested that I should try rebuilding iPhoto and sent me an article on how to do that. He also said that I will need to have as much free space on my hard disk as the size of the library is. The library is 16,000 MB. There are 6,000 MB still available to use. He said NOT to open up the iPhoto program until I had rebuilt the program and then he rang off.
    I'm pretty innocent of how computers work and it wasn't until I realized that it's the photos and Quicktime movies from my camera themselves that are filling the disk space and that there isn't much else filling up the disk space (novels and poems and letters don't take up much space it turns out!) that I realized I am in a Catch-22 situation. How to eliminate things when I can't open the program for fear of losing all photos?
    I have some but not all photos backed up on DVD. My husband has a selection on his computer but does not have the DVD burner capacity. He could burn the photos he has on a CD, but that would take forever. We do not own an external hard drive, but I am wondering whether I should see if I can find one--that's easier said than done since we live out on a headland in Ireland pretty far from everything. The closer Apple store in five hours away.
    One other possibility I've come up with: we have an old PowerBookG4 which still has about 22,000 GB available on it. Could it be used in some way to hold the photos from my computer (The MacBook) as I try rebuilding the iPhoto program on my computer (the MacBook)? We have a firewire.
    We are going to Paris next week, and I want to be able to take a ton of photos (my great joy!) without worrying that I'll have nowhere to put them. (Memory cards are expensive here.)
    Any help would be very appreciated--thank you in advance. And I'd also be grateful if it were couched in the easiest to understand computer language possible (don't assume I know a whole lot.)

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. Go to your Pictures Folder. In their is a folder called the iPhoto Library Folder. Inside it is a folder called Originals, and that contains Roll Folders. Your pics should be inside there.
    That's: Pictures / iPhoto Library Folder / Originals / Rolls
    So, first off, confirm that your photos are there.
    2. Yes you do need to clear off disk space, and yes, your iPhoto files and any music you have a good candidates for moving to an external disk. You can purchase an external disk from the online apple Store (http//:www.apple.com/iestore is the Irish AppleStore) Look for the 'Storage' link on the left hand side. They'll ship it to you in three or four days (in my experience)
    3. In the meantime, rebuilding your library will require disk space. It's not difficult, and doesn't take very long. If you have Firewire on the old Powerbook then here's what you do:
    1. Turn Off the Old Powerbook. Connect it to the Macbook using a FireWire cable
    2. Hold down the 'T' key and start the Powerbook. A Firewire symbol will appear on the screen, and the PB will turn up on your MacBook desktop, as an external disk.
    3. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder (from your Pictures Folder) to the PB - just drag and drop it to the icon on the desktop.
    4. Confirm that your Pictures have crossed over safely. Then double check. And then check again, because...
    5. Put the iPhoto Library Folder in the Pictures Folder of the MacBook into the trash and empty it. (Note: Be sure that your pics are on the old Powerbook!!!) (We have to trash the iPhoto Library Folder from the MacBook to make space for the rebuild.)
    6. Launch iPhoto on the Macbook. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on the PB and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    This should give you a working iPhoto Library on your Macbook.
    But you still have a space problem, and you should deal with it as a priority. Once you have got an external disk, post back and we'll go through how to put your library on to it.

  • Please Help,I made new account then remembered old one.need to delete new

    Please Please help . so complicated . ok i had an apple id but couldn't remember id n password so i made a new one . old one has all my music . old one has an old email that i can't access . after i made new one i remembered the old one . i want the old one cause it has alot of purchased music on it . thing is , my current email is now assosiated with new id . cant use same id with both so i need to delete new account so i can add my email to old account . How in the world do I delete the new apple id ? Please help me

    This is a user-to-user forum. Nobody here can delete anything for you.
    But - even if you contacted apple/itunes, I don't think they will delete it, either. Just don't use the new one, is my advice. It's a huge hassle over the years to have to remember the login credentials for 2 accounts.

  • PLEASE HELP ME: Pink/Purple library everytime I open Itunes.

    I have no idea what I did. I have re-installed Itunes, Restarted my computer, and still my library is pink & purple. This is true for all of my libraries, including playlists & the white parts of the Itunes Store. Its all Pink & Purple. The rest of my computer is acting completely normally. I don't know what's going on. I don't like pink & purple. Please help me.

    Make sure that in your Display Settings colour is set to 32 bit. See this link for details: iTunes - Pink iTunes window under iTunes XP/Vista

  • Please Help, Devistated! iPhoto Library not all there

    I'd appreciate any help with this:
    I had over 4000 pictures in my library. I just uploaded quite a few more. They were all there. I went to do a backup and it for some reason wasn't working (thought nothing). When I re-opened iPhoto, I first only had 250 photos, so I exited, now when I open it, I only have 43.
    I have not edited or moved any of the folders in the Library Folder. WHAT DO I DO!?

    Cody
    If the rebuild suggested by Smtr doesn't work, then you have a corrupted database file. You pics are safe: just go to your Pictures Folder -> iPhoto Library Folder -> Originals and in there you'll see your Roll Folders. They contain your pics.
    Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Please help ... new to JAVA

  • Mac mini g4 power pc won't download  please help I'm new mac

    I have used Mac mini g4 2005 run Mac os x 10.3.7 but I can't Download. I don't know why is my forts Mac  and I think sale because I don't know how download  and also won't open YouTube too  please help thanks how configure please thanks

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    I did try the DIMMs one at a time, plus in pairs, and no luck.
    But I think you were on to something about trying a different CD. I don't have the System CD for this machine, nor do I have a System 9 CD. I had tried an OS X 10.3 installation CD and a Disk Warrior CD, but those wouldn't work. I did find an Apple Extended Care CD (which had a version of TechTools on it) that I got with my Powerbook, and lo and behold, the G4 started up off of that! So I turned off the machine, connected the hard drive again and restarted. It booted up off the hard drive and I was able to connect to the network and everything.
    But then I got greedy. I thought whatever was wrong was now magically fixed (magic being my most relied upon Apple repair tool) and popped all the RAM back in. Turned it on, kernel panic. Darn. Took the RAM back out, turned it on, kernel panic. Uh-oh. So I put the RAM back in and tried to start it off the Extended Care CD again. It started up OK from the CD. Then I tried to boot from the hard disk again, and it booted up just fine, no problems at all. I had to reset the clock, but everything works.
    So I still don't know what's going on with the machine. Maybe it was the battery after all, but it couldn't boot until something was reset. It's a mystery, I guess.

    I have been programming in java for about 5 years and have created large standalone applications...however i have always resisted going to swing....i treid today for the first time and WOW..!!!
    so i have a problem where i made a Jmenubar and a set of Jmenus and Jmenuitems, and i added a panel with some stuff in the middle of my JFrame....the problem is when i click one of the menus, i only see part of it while the rest kind of hides under one of the panels in my frame....what is this??? how can i fix this.... you see what i mean...i press the menu, and so say 15 choices kind of "drop down" ... but they are not "on top" .. rather they are under the panel below in the frame ... (where there is stuff buttons...etc)..
    Please help.....

    If the panel is rendered on top of your JMenu/JMenuItem it sounds like a light weight / heavy weight problem.
    Make sure the panels and the components you are adding are all lightweight JComponent derivatives and not AWT components like java.awt.Panel java.awt.Button

  • PLEASE HELP? TRANSFERING ITUNES LIBRARY FROM OLD COMPUTER TO NEW COMPUTER?

    Heyy guys, hopefully someone can help me here because I'm not the smartest when it comes to computer stuff.
    Okay here's the deal, I have a Windows laptop which is where my iTunes library is right now. I just got a new macbook pro and I want to convert my library onto the new computer. I was told how to do it briefly but I forget and I need specific directions, as in how do I load the songs onto the blank CD to convert them and so forth. If anyone can help me with specific directions on how to complete this process it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much.

    Amanda,
    I don't know exactly, but I don't think you need to transfer your files from your laptop to a blank cd and then to your macbook. When I got my laptop, someone transferred music and all the items in "My Documents" from my desktop computer with a few clicks of the mouse! It was transferred wirelessly! I'll try to find out what he did and then let you know, hopefully someone else will be able to help you in the meantime though. Have a blessed day, and God bless you!

  • Please help with backing up library

    OK, this has maybe been addressed before but I'm new here and haven't really found an answer on the forums... My work is saved as monthly projects and I want to export them to an external HD with metadata and adjustments etc but retain a referenced version in my library on my mac. Make sense? If I need to get anything back I can do a quick search and plug in the HD - yes? Trouble is if I export the project as-is I can't reimport referenced files... This is maybe my poor working practice and I'd really appreciate some help with it. I've previously just exported versions then burned DVD's but I'd really like to keep a record of pics on the mac if poss. HELP PLEASE!

    Thanks so much for your help with this! It sounds exactly like what I want to achieve. I'm wondering now if I can export my entire library and bring it back in as referenced instead of managed - hopefully someone can advise? Thanks, Craig
    You don't need to export you can do it from within Aperture, see *File->Relocate Master*.
    Again check out the user manual Apple did a real good job with this one.
    And PLEASE, PLEASE, make a complete backup of your Aperture library before trying any of this we are not responsible for lost, missing or mutilated photos

  • Please help in implementing new GL data source 0FI_GL_40

    Hi Experts,
    We have implemented New GL in our landscape some time in 2007 and there was no standard extractor available to load the GL line item data into BI. So we have created a custom(RSO2) extractor and loading data into BI using it.
    Now with EhPacks, SAP introduced different standard extractors and currently we are evaluating to see which one can help us to replace the custom extractor.
    In our organization, we have 3 ledgers(0L - Leading Ledger, RS - Restatement Ledger and LG- Local GAAP).Daily we get around 2 million delta line items.
    Started looking into 0FI_GL_40,but it is not delta capable ? how can we use it and load only delta records every night?
    If you have already implemented this extractor, then please share your experience with us.
    Thanks,
    Bobby.

    Just because your ECC environment has been upgraded to EHP3 or EHP4, doesn't mean that the New GL Reporting is automatically available and being used. It has to be configured. Therefore, if you're planning on using the New GL Reporting DataSources, make sure that it has been configured for use in your ECC environment. This can be easily done, if you don't have a communication line with your FI functional people, you can see if data is being populated to the newly introduced table FAGLFLEXA and/or FAGLFLEXT. If there's no data in those tables, you won't be able to use the New GL Reporting DataSources.
    Now, having provided that caveat, if you do have the New GL Reporting configured in your ECC environment and want accounting document item data with delta, then you should take a look at the 0FI_GL_14 and 3FI_GL_XX_SI DataSources. You can use the 0FI_GL_14 DataSource for ledger 0L (leading ledger) and the 3FI_GL_XX_SI DataSource (XX would be the ledger designation) for the RS and LG ledgers. All 3 of these DataSources would then flow into DSO 0FIGL_O14.
